 Distance learning 👀

I have enjoyed distance learning because even though there are due dates for assignments, it feels more freeing to my schedule. I work on assignments at my own pace, resulting in better quality work. I dislike how difficult it is to get in contact with my peers though. In my future classroom, on the first day/days I want to set up a class Groupme and have everybody join. This makes class interactions easier, as well as quicker than email. 

OER 💻

Open educational resources (OER)'s, are resources available online that can be used, edited, and shared for free in educational settings. They can be games, lesson plans, assignment templates and more. Click here to view a website with over 100 OER's. They have resources available for the main subjects in elementary learning. 

PowerPoint 💬

I have really enjoyed working on the PowerPoint projects in this class. I learned how to use SmartArt, record presentations, and have gained a better general understanding of the PowerPoint application. I know I can improve my use of pictures so this is a skill I want to work on. Attached are screenshots of my PowerPoint presentations, Fifth Grade Art Jeopardy is not yet fully completed.

I stay quite in touch with what younger people are interested in due to me spending a lot of time on TikTok, so I should will be able to connect my lessons to current songs, films, news stories, and memes. My Ed. Psych. teacher does a great job at this!  CPALMS Resource💫 On the CPALMS website a resource I found interesting was a middle school Latin lesson. It important to understand the basics of Latin in order to understand English better and the concept of root words. The resource is an online lesson that can be ...

  Web Design I enjoyed created a class website! It was a process, but the final result was worth it. Weebley was easy to use and unless I find another webpage design website, I will probably be using it to create my future class website. I plan to encourage my class to use it and keep it updated. Click  here  to view my website. 🌠 Diigo My opinions have changed about Diigo. It has been causing problems on my computer. The Diigo webpage is helpful and I will use with my peers in the future to share resources. However, the website editing feature I will not continue to use. 💫 Technology Trends Teachers are responsible for our future generations awareness of technology. Technology changes so fast that it is hard to keep up. It is important for the future generation to be familiar with technology and to be able to transfer those skills into their future careers.
